How not to do a CAPTCHA

Works best for me in Opera, less well in Firefox or MSIE

See also recent entries of [livejournal.com profile] brad's for some images working up to that.

That's terrible! At least I can read it though. When I was signing up for my personal journal ([livejournal.com profile] isle_of_lesbos I needed to do the "human check" three times.

I like that a lot better than most current captcha images. i have to do "human check" several times on some sites because they are so hard to read. i must be moderately colorblind too because sometimes the letters are nearly impossible to see.

Just the fact this requires text animation is bad enough. It's making me feel sick just looking at it...

GIF animation of course.
